Eli grew up in Keene Valley, NY, and spent most of his time outside in the creeks and mountains. He has spent several summers working on trail crews in Oregon and Western North Carolina, and loves teaching people about conservation. Eli graduated from Warren Wilson College with a bachelor’s in Outdoor Leadership, and is currently working on a paramedic certification at AB Tech.
In his free time, Eli likes to hike, paddle, fly fish, make art, and play with his cats. Through Project Conserve, Eli hopes to establish more connections with the local communities, and share his excitement and love of the outdoors with young folks.
